Portrait of a third stage larvae. The second of three larval stages of this fly species can be used to treat poorly healing, necrotizing wounds when other treatments fail. This applies in particular to for osteomyelitis, gangrene, ulcers caused by venostasis and mastoiditis. The sterile larvae are placed on the wounds and eliminate rotting, pus-stricken and already dead tissue. The healthy tissue is left completely in peace. The movement of the larvae and their metabolic products cleans the wound and stimulates wound healing. This method has been documented since the Middle Ages and is gaining importance with increasing antibiotic resistance.
